Coronado Smokers - we gotta talk!

Ok, I am already uncomfortable bringing up the subject, but we need to discuss this:  I know you smoke.  I know this is a sore subject for you, and you feel that you are being attacked.  That is not why I mention it.   You have hired me to sell your Coronado home and net your the highest amount for it. Trying to sell your Coronado home, and you smoke it is a tough thing!   You feel that you are being attacked, meanwhile there are buyers out there that absolutely refuse to look at a home with a smoker.   We have had showings where a buyer has stepped into a home and immediately turned and said "I don't want to go further, this home has a smoker".   Unfortunately for you, the number of people who will not look at a Coronado smoker's home out number those that will.  So the pool of potential buyers has been reduced and we have to set the price to attract reluctant buyers.

The most effectual short-term approach to the smoke-odor problem involves total repainting of walls and ceilings, complete replacement of carpets and draperies, and extensive cleanup of everything else.

For those who do not smoke, the ashtray atmosphere of a Coronado smoker's home is one of the factors that will turn off a potential buyer to your home. A Google search of "cigarette odor removal" renders more than 255,000 Websites.

There are hundreds of products and remedies that compete in the marketplace. If any of these products were successful, it would no longer be necessary for nonsmoking travelers to request nonsmoking rooms in hotels.

Is it time to Move Up in Coronado?

Coronado Buyers wanting to move up-- You have to admit it is a fair question.   Are you ready to purchase your next Coranado home?

Admit it, you are sitting in your Coronado home watching all the news reports of all the great Real Estate deals and you are thinking to yourself --"Perhaps I can move up now".   You are talking about your financial health and no matter if you are a 1st time home buyer or someone moving up into their next home, it is a daunting decision. Here are a couple of indications that you are ready to purchase a Coranado home:

• Do you know the state of the Coronado Real Estate market?  What is happening in Coronado Village is very different than Coronado Cays.
• Have you suffient equity in your Coronado home?
• How many homes have sold in the community that you desire?
• Over the past 18 months have Coronado homes increased or decreased?
• Do you have sufficient funds to faciltate this transaction?  Things like a down payment, closing costs and moving expenses.  Oh and after closing, will you have a reserve of cash for those unexpected expenses?
• In today's Coronado Real Estate Market do you even qualify for a mortgage?

Just because you can afford the purchase of a Coronado home, does not necessarily mean that you should purchase a home or move up at this time in Coronado. So many home owners have gotten into trouble because they have not planned for the worst case. Once you own a home there are things to consider when owning a home. Don't forget a new home will have changes in what you pay in taxes, insurance and utilities.

Here are some tips on staging your Coronado houses and condos to sell. It doesn't take long for a prospective buyer to form an opinion about your Coronado homes and condos. Here's how you can tilt the odds in your favor by making your homes appeal to the widest clientele possible. Recently, I noticed that sellers are taking home staging more seriously. This was particularly evident in Coronado golf course and Coronado waterfront homes and condos.  Read this before you put your property on the market.

First Impressions Matter!

Prospective home buyers form an opinion about the home you're selling in 15 seconds, by one estimate. And the clock starts ticking at the curb -- even before the home buyers get in the house. So how do you tilt the playing field in your favor? Increasingly, it's by staging your home.

Generally speaking, staging means making your home as appealing as possible, as quickly as possible, to the broadest clientele you can. In fact, Barb Schwarz of StagedHomes.com estimates that about one in four homes nationwide are now staged. So if you're not doing it, you may be at a disadvantage.

There are techniques to pulling this off -- some of them obvious, and some not so apparent. We polled the experts to get some of their top tips.

Staging as un-decorating

Staging takes some effort and some money -- but it works. According to a study of 2,772 properties sold in eight California cities in 1999 that was done by real-estate broker Joy Valentine, staged homes remained on the market less than half the time that unstaged homes did -- about 14 days versus 31 days. The average difference in sale price over list price for staged homes was 6.3%, versus 1.6% for unstaged homes. You stand to gain $9,000 on a $200,000 house, Dana and co-author Marcia Layton Turner point out in their book, "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Staging your Home to Sell." 

Coronado Communities

Urban expansion has become as Californian as the Coronado sunny weather and surfing. With an estimated increase of 1 million residents in San Diego County over the next 30 years, it's no wonder a multitude of retail and residential developments are springing up around the area. As developers work to create Coronado homes-with an emphasis on living-more ZIP codes surrounding Coronado area are becoming part of the upscale urban scene, thanks to new village concepts and mixed-use Coronado Real Estate developments.

Otay Ranch, the fastest-growing community in San Diego over the past few years, is planned to encompass 11 urban villages and 27,000 dwelling units on roughly 22,900 acres. The recent opening of the Otay Ranch Town Center has bridged the retail gap for both Otay and EastLake, with stores such as Coach, Anthropologie and REI, while also providing a social center for the region. After hitting the shops, residents can enjoy the surrounding "paseos" interlinking numerous public parks with an 11,000-acre open-space preserve to provide hiking, biking and horseback riding.

Downtown San Diego, with its condos, skyscrapers and parks, exemplifies urban growth. Currently, more than 60 residential developments are in the works. More than $3 billion in changes are being implemented, making the area attractive to professionals and families alike. Towering condos like Smart Corner-a 300-unit mixed-use space bisected by the City College trolley stop-are redefining the box that once was urban living. Now, living rooms at The Legend and Diamond- View Tower double as great seats for Padres games, while also offering a park, fine dining and luxury shopping a baseball's throw away.

Twenty minutes from downtown, two new communities- Santaluz and Del Sur-have taken root. Situated southeast of Rancho Santa Fe, together they're comprised in a larger plan, Black Mountain Ranch. Before the sinking of the finishing nails at Santaluz, all of the large plots had sold. But a few resale properties could bring some new neighbors for this upscale development that boasts a centrally located golf course, designed by Rees Jones, and panoramic views of the surrounding Black Mountain and San Dieguito River Parks. Breaking ground on approximately 890 acres next door is Del Sur. A more compact village plan, the development reinvents family-friendly neighborhoods of old, while incorporating shopping, dining, hiking and biking.

92078

A new development called San Elijo Hills is making this North County ZIP stand out. Sitting atop the highest points in North County, San Elijo offers wonderful views of surrounding valleys and beaches. The neighborhood's neo-traditional design uses elements such as mixed-use housing and community- friendly streets to effectively turn 2,000 acres into a balanced community. Miles of pedestrian trails connect even the far reaches of this community, where residents can find a plethora of recreational fields that spread into a 19-acre park. The San Elijo Hills Community Network-a private, Web-based network-also makes involvement easy by providing residents with a virtual meeting place, a community calendar and service information.

A few years ago, Scripps Ranch was devastated by wildfires, but true to its spirit, million-dollar homes are rising from the ashes. Representing the newest luxury communities: The Estates at Stonebridge. These residences-set on the edge of Mission Trails Regional Park-provide natural beauty and expansive lots. The homes range from about 3,000 to 6,000 square feet of luxurious living space, complemented by lush landscaping. Another positive facet is the undeniable sense of community. An excellent school system and a number of new neighborhood centers, such as the Scripps Ranch Village Center, exemplify this region's resilience and pride.
